C'mon Elk. Many people (including me) don't avoid using horses on hunts because it's HARD. We don't use them (and the guides and outfitters that come with them) because it's EXPENSIVE. I'd love to go on an outfitted hunt, I just can't justify X thousands of dollars to do it for a couple days.
And a big outfitted hunt with horses causes a lot more trail damage than any bicycle, e-bike or not. Try hiking any trail that horses regularly use.
I get there are laws and rules but some people here seem more concerned with banning something new than evaluating whether it really does any damage. haven't heard anyone put forward any evidence that an e-bike has any more environmental or wildlife impact than a regular bike.
